Pretty simple question, but I am not sure if it is possible. I want to add an image to act as a bullet in all <h1>
elements. I know I can achieve this by:
<span class='bullet'></span><h1>My H1 text here</h1>
with css:
.bullet{
background: url('bullet.png') no-repeat;
display:inline-block;
vertical-align: middle;
background-size:100%;
height:25px;
width:25px;
margin-right: 5px;
}
but is there an automatic way to do the same thing? I was thinking something like:
h1{
list-style-image: url('bullet.png');
}
but that only seems to work with <ul>
elements. I really don't want to have to paste the <span>
element everywhere before the <h1>
element. Any ideas?
While you can use a :before
pseudo-selector to add a "-" or "•" character in front of your element, it doesn't really make your element behave like a bullet point. Your element may look like a bullet point, but that's just a dirty hack, really, and should be avoided!
To make your element both (1) look like a bullet point and (2) behave like a bullet point, you should set the display
, list-style-type
and list-style-position
attributes of that element.
h1 {
display: list-item; /* This has to be "list-item" */
list-style-type: disc; /* See https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/list-style-type */
list-style-position: inside; /* See https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/list-style-position */
}
<h1>My H1 text here</h1>
